Eileen, sorry to hear about your mom. I read the second "Dear Prudence" letter in Slate at
http://www.slate.com/id/2208127/
Yours is not the same situation from your description but there are so many of us who have at least ambivalent feelings about relatives, including parents, with whom we've spent a lifetime of battling.
I just wanted to wish you the strength you'll need to get through this. I hope that you and your mom can have a resolution worthy of this relationship. My dad and I did not do that until two years before his death, but I will treasure that time forever. I guess I was lucky.
I have absolutely nothing to say. How can people do this every day or every other day? Wouldn't I have to be a bit narcissistic to believe that other people would be interested in the everyday drivel that passes through my life?
I'm kind of insecure about all of this. I don't even know how to blog. Do you just write out your random thoughts, or do you have to write mini-essays like Jet does?
I'm getting used to having Jet's name attached to mine. I think I'll keep it.
